?????????????????????
The brilliant album that got everything started. Heads turned, people snapped to attention (women especially), and the "sweet" soul fraternity was turned on its head when this five-member group featuring the sugary, sweeping falsetto of Russell Tompkins, Jr. hit the scene with such singles as "Betcha by Golly Wow," "People Make the World Go Round," and "Stop, Look and Listen to Your Heart." His delivery, shimmering style, and brilliant pacing and control temporarily rendered almost every other "sweet" soul vocalist and group speechless; pretty soon, the Delfonics, Blue Magic, Moments, and others would fight back, but in 1972, everyone was playing catchup to The Stylistics.
(EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY RON WYNN, ALL MUSIC GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/)
A TRUE Sweet Soul classic - right up there with the works of Delfonics, Chi-Lites, Whatnaughts, Moments, Dramatics and Spinners.

· The record is pressed on a RELATIVELY thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type), vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.
(c) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
Album - SEALED (Jacket does have (2) creases at each corner at the top, as seen in the pictures, and one corner ding bottom right) ~~ NO BAR CODE ~~
